Mairéad Ní Mhaonaigh agus Francie Mooney
Beidh Éigse Uladh 2023 tiomnaithe do shaol agus dó shaothar Phroinsias Ó Maonaigh, Francie Mooney, agus beidh sé ar siúl i nGaoth Dobhair ar Aibreán 28, 29 agus 30.
Foghlaimeoidh an lucht freastail faoi shaol agus faoi shaothar an sár-ealaíontóra seo, faoin méid a chuir sé lena phobal, leis na healaíona traidisiúnta, leis an spórt agus leis an oideachas.
Bhí Prionsias Ó Maonaigh ina cheoltóir agus ina chumadóir. Bhí sé ina phríomhoide agus ina mhúinteor ar Scoil Adhamhnáin an Lunniagh ar feadh i bhfad. Bhí baint mhór aige le hAmharclann Ghaoth Dobhair agus bhí suim mhór aige i mbannaí ceoil.
Rugadh Prionsias i 1922, an fear is óige dó ocht cloigne pháistí. Bhí béim mhór ar cheol agus ar amhránaíochta agus as sin d'eascair ard-chaighdeán ceoil i bPrionsias. Phós sé Kitty Ní Ghallchóir i 1954 agus bhí trúir pháiste acu Gearóid, Mairéad agus Anna. Tá ceol go smior sa trúir acu.
Theagasc sé an fhidil do scolairí go raibh thar céithre scór bliain d'aois. Is é a scríobh an t-amhrán Gleanntain Glás Ghaoth Dobhair.
Bhí suim mhór aige sa spórt agus Cumann Lúthchleas Gael.
